THE GARFIELD FAMILY.
4 Glimpse 1T the Handsome Home At
Mentor and It's Occupant

A Glimpse ut the Handsome Home at
Mentor and It's Occupants.
In five years there have been many
notable changes in the Garfield family.
There have been no deaths, but the
children of whom the father was so
fond have grown up. The two older
boys have begun course in the Co.
lumbia College Law School, and Harry.
the elder, has been teaching in some
Eastern school. Both are graduates OF
Williams College. James R. Garfield
has been Studying law with Judge
Boynton in Cleveland, and is looked
upon by friends of his father as the
son most ike him in every way.
He has his fathers size, complexion,
eyes and manner. Both sons are now
men, and have, it is said, great am
bition. Miss Mollie, the only daughter,
is now young woman taller than her
mother, and has about finished her
studies The two younger sons.
Abram and Irwin--the latter named
for General Irwin Mcdowell old
enough to enter school on the 'Hud-
son, and left home for their duties
there recently. They had never been
away from home alone before.
Since the preliminary education of
Abram and Irwin IN the Cleveland
public schools the mother has had Lo
further desire to live in a city. She
has ordered her mansion in Cleveland
sold and has decided to make her
future home in Mentor. She has here
added to the modest frame house of
her husband "Queen Anne structure
which cost $4,000 1t is the most i'm
posing home IN the country, although
the new part is behind and wholly sub
servient to the old house in which the
President lived This still remains the
head and front of the Garfield home,
although remodeled to conform with
the addition. A $4,000 addition to a
5000 house is a curiosity in modern
architecture, but sentiment for the
past and its illustrious dead inspired
it. There are probably sixty rooms in
both new and old houses. They are
all furnished in modern style and with
considerable elegance. and there is an
air of aristocracy about the interior
which Garfield did not know in his own
home. Although the house is far in
the country it has all the conveniences
Of city home-in plumbing, gas-fit-
ting and steam-heating.
A natural gas well has been bored on
the farm, and the yard is kept lighted
day and night. The main entrance is
through the old house. In the hall
facing the door is ''Grandman Gar
fields old wall-sweep clock, which her
husband brought home just sixty years
ago 1t is still the standard time" Of
that house, and keeps on ticking just
as it did when the President was born.
To the left is the smoking room, which
is lounging room for the family,
James being their only one who
smokes. To the right is the old parlor.
now reception room, and rich III relics
of the dead. 1t was once his study.
Bibles and other books are upon the

the same as when the family left for

Sectionalism Is Buried.

New South. This the Southern
people are doing. They are pros

Our developments of railroads,

derful. Everywhere there are evidences
of new growth and unprecedented
prosperity. The land for future homes
is not in the West, nor the East, nor in
the North, but it is in the South, where
there are more unimproved acres than
the present total improved land in all
the States Of the Union excepting nli-
nois. 1t is to be hoped Grady's speech
will bury sectionalism out of sight for
ever--put an end to the policy Of sus-
picion and continuous insult and crit
icism Of the South. We are destined
to live together; that is inevitable
that was the verdict of the war. Tho
magnificent history Of the North and
South pitted against each other on the
deadly battlefield is the common prop

HIGH MANURlNG.
Why the Sensible Farmer VIII Not Allow a
DepletiOn OF His Soil.

Depletion OF His SOIL.
How many persons appreciate what
is meant by high manuring? 1t means
simply, fully feeding the soil. The an
imal on short commons makes little
progress toward ripe fatness. 1t is the
same with the soil. The plant food must
be in excess of the full requirements
of the crop to be raised, with this diff
ference, as in the case of the feeding of
animals. If something is left in the
soil not required by the crop, the excess
remains in the soil ready for another
crop. If the soil lacks some necessary
constituent, it may not be able to prop
erly assimilate the other constituents
contained in the soil In feeding ami
mails, if the food does not contain all
the constituents necessary to the animal
economy, such as may be assimilated is
\ taken up, the balance is lost.
There is this to say about manuring.
However little may be given. it helps,
and here the value is identical as be-
tween plants and animals, but only by
high manuring-the soil containing an
excess of food all needed by the crop
can the best and most economical results
be reached. This is fully shown in gar
dening, as practiced by professionals.
The gardener manures to the extreme.
He raises crops year by year of the
heaviest kind. He perhaps does not
practice rotation, by which II succeed
ing crop may utilize that rejected by II
former crop. At length the garden
soil becomes sick. 1t no longer pro-
duces as the gardener expects. Why:
The soil has been robbed year by year
of certain constituents to the exclusion
of others. Here is where II lesson may
be learned. Rotation of crops allows
pabulum not used by one crop to be
taken by another. 1t is question
worthy of careful study.
A virgin soil may contain all the con-
stituents of plant food in abundance.
In time the richest soil will be depleted
The sensible way is never to allow Il
soil to bee ONE depleted. 1t costs toe
much to recuperate it.--F'arm, FieM
| and StOcknlan.

How the Democracy Arc Attempting to
Right Great Republican Wrong.
Soon after the war the Republican
politicians, in order to show their great
love for the race whom the fortunes OF
war had set free, got up a swindling
concern called the "Freedman's Bank. !"
1t ramified into all the Southern States,
and the colored people were taught to
believe that the United States Govern
ment would secure all depositors. They
took the bait and most of the poor de-
luded wretches have never seen their
money since. Many of them are dead,
and buried in very poor graves.
It remained for Democratic Presi-
dent to recommend that some restitu-
ton be made to such of the unhappy
victims of the swindle as still live. I'm

man to reimburse the depositors.
But fortunately some Of the Senators
were aware of the attempted second
swindle, and in committee incorporated
the following amendment:
No part Of the money hereby appropriated
shall be paid to any assignee Of nny such de
positors, and the benefit and relief provided by
this act shall extend only to those depositors IL
| whose favor such balances have been properl,
verified, and to their heirs and legal repre-

This is as it should be. No assign

Horrible Encounter Between Two Ul

"Some of the biggest 'squids,' or

been found around the West India
islands in the Gulf of Mexico and the
Caribbean Sea. Twas first mate on a
little chunk of a sugar drogher, as the
vessels in that trade are called, and was
bound from New York to Jamaica.
There was fever there ut the time, so
we laid off in the roads and the bark
was loaded by coolies with lighters. AS
we could not 60 ashore we rugged sails
in the long-boat and used to cruise
around through the little islands hunt
ing for turtles and eggs. One day we
towed the dingy behind the longboat,
intending to split the party at one of
the islands. When we reached the big
island we separated, part staying on
the island and some of the men taking
the two boats and going to other islands.
and two men staid on DEVILS Rock
and hunted around for whatever we
could find. About Il hundred yards off
was small rock, where the dingy and
her crew had gone. We could see the
boat tied up and the men loafing around
the island. We got tired and sung out
to them to come over and get us. They
started to the boat and pushed her off,
wading out little way to keep clear of
the rocks just covered at high tide. All

full scream and something blush rose
out of the water and encircled his body
and neck. He drew mis- knife and
slashed at it, when another arm
arose. 1t was q 'squid. The other
fellow was nearer the shore and was
just stepping out of the water when two
long feelers wriggled up and around
his legs, and in another minute he. too,
was being drawn under the water.
Their shrieks and cries We're pitiful, but
we could do nothing. We had no boat
and the other party We're not in sight.
The men fought bravely, but to no end.
What could they do against fifty arms,
from ten to twenty feet long, each with
grasp of steel. Slowly but surely
they were first crushed to death and
then dragged down. Their fighting
seemed to have maddened the creature,
for shortly after the men disappeared
the long, blue arms wround themselves
around the little boat and crushed il
as you would a nutshell between your
fingers. The horror we felt ut tho bare
sight of the poor fellows agony nearly
drove one of the men crazy who was
with me. When the longboat came
back we reported the matter, but after
that we were never allowed to 60 over
to the islands. Several times we hunted

Tho Republican Senate COpsidered ~ .
Creature Of tho Corporations.
The argus has had occasion, fire.
quently, to call attention to the de-
cadence of the United States Senate
and the enormous influence welded in
that body by corporations. The re-
proach, uttered two years ago, that
'the Senate is merely an association of
railroad attorneys and speculators, not
only useless to the Nation, but posi-
lively injurious to its best in
terests," acquires more signifi-
cance in the light of present ex-
perience. We see on every hand the
power and influence of great corpor-
ations cxerted to the utmost to retain
control of body which once repre-
sented the most intellectual most pa
triotic and most incorruptible men in
the Nation. Brains are no longer con-
sidered necessary qualification for
the Office, and Legislatures are beseiged
by moneyed influence to control their
choice for men who, without money,
would never be thought of for a seat in
the United States Senate. The compe-
tition to such seat is no longer
open to men who can intellectually
fill it. The power of the corpo-
rations is being exerted in New
Jersey to deprive the people of that
Democratic State of the right Of be-
ing represented at Washington by u
Democratic Senator. The same
malign influence is felt in Indiana,
and no means, revolutionary or un-
constitutional is left untried to per-
vert the will of the people and keep
the United States Senate under the
control of the corporations. The
Brooklyn Citizen, that stanch Demo-
cratic newspaper, gives solemn
warning on the subject, which appeals
to the earnest reflection of the Ameri-
can people:
With the upper House of the National Legis-
iature In the hands OF interruptions and
banded wealth, the Administration and the
popular branch arc alike parslyxed, and the
Victories won for the plain people by the defeat
OF Mr.. Blaine and redemption of the House
from Republican control are hopelessly thrown
away. BY every foul means, the Democratic
strength In the Legislatures 10 undermined by
the money OF the corporations and the control
ID bought for them through the Republicans.
There 10 no longer the slightest attempt ut con-
cealment The Republican party 10 openly
owned by the capitalists Of the country, and
the rights Of the plain people are being stolen
from them.

Give the Fowls Exercise

Scratching is about the only exer-
else, and as exercise is necessary for
good health, it can readily be seen that
the hen must be given the right to
scratch. AS it is now little out of
season for flowers and garden beds, Il
substitute can be provided by using cut
straw, clover, hay, dry leaves, etc. In
this litter throw few oats, little
wheat, barley, buckwheat. and OCCASION
ally few sunilower seeds. Do not
throw down all these grains at once,
but vary them in order to have II change.
If the grains disappear, it is not be-
cause the hens can not find them, for
they will pick out every one. This
mode of feeding is better than all the
condition powders ever made, and in
place of wearing the poultry out pre-
maturely, will build them up strong,
healthy and profitable.-Frairie Farmer.
